I wanted to replace the fuel filter on my car - https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...85#16127451424

But apparently not all M2s have the outside fuel filter (only the "S1AKA=Yes" cars do, and I have no idea how to get to that information for my car, since it's not dependent on the VIN). Anyway, my car doesn't have the outside filter. So I asked the local dealership, and they told me that "modern petrol cars don't have fuel filters. Instead they have some kind of a net within the fuel reservoar and that's not a replaceable part".

Is this true? Should I really never worry about replacing the fuel filter on my car?

You must be a fan of Vice Grip Garage!

Yes, it's true.

If you enter the details for your car based on model, year and market, you may find that when you look at that diagram there are no parts listed for your car. So you can relax.

If there are parts listed, you can order same and relax when they arrive...

I bought fuel filter as well... and when I got to replace it nothing was there... so no fuel filter on my car either... 😂

Yeah, this was my experience too.

Hi guys,

My M2C is about to leave the warranty period and nobody knows when or what is to be replaced for this fuel filtering "mesh" or the whole sender unit.
Any service interval for that or a more reasonable solution for replacing the "mesh" instead of the whole sender unit?
Thanks

There is no fuel filter on the modern car with plastic tanks and lines. The screen is just that in the tank usually attached to rhe pump. Modern fuel is way cleaner than most people believe and the station pumps have a filter that looks like a big oil filter. When the in-tank fuel pump dies, that is when you change the screen.
